Review
‘Wonderfully warm and illuminating. A rare book for the way it combines cutting-edge science with an inside view of how that knowledge is being won. It is as much a story of the individual lives of the nuns as of their eventual neurological fate.’ John McCrone, Guardian
'I advise you to read Aging with Grace.' Maggie Gee, Daily Telegraph
'Extraordinary insights...Snowdon not only describes the key findings, but also gives touching accounts of the lives and work of the nuns. In Aging with Grace, we glimpse a closed, peculiarly uniform world. The nuns have a lot to teach us about the lifestyle and attitudes needed to age successfully – with grace.' New Scientist
'A unique study of nuns is helping scientists unlock the secrets of the ageing process.' Daily Mail
About the Author
Dr. David Snowdon received his Ph.D. in epidemiology from the University of Minnesota and began the Nun Study there in 1986. In 1990 he moved the Nun Study to the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging at the University of Kentucky Medical Center, where he is also Professor of Neurology. One of the world's leading experts on Alzheimer's disease, he has presented his findings at scientific conferences throughout North America and Europe and has been published in such major medical journals as The Journal of the American Medical Association and The Journal of Gerontology.
